Tilting wood labyrinths looked very cool when I was a kid. Twist, move, avoid the holes. And then, with the iPad and iPhone, they got a new twist: digital version where you twisted and rotated a virtual (and incredibly expensive) piece of wood.

iCube moves a step further: your labyrinth is a 3D cube you have to twist and rotate to move your ball to the exit. An awesome idea, but results in very very hard puzzles. The game is very well executed and has an addictive point that is very frustrating: I almost missed a train one day, and I was in the station!.

It fits perfectly casual gaming while waiting on queues or commuting, but be prepared for the odd glances you’ll get as you twist your iPhone around!

Quick Take

Value:Medium

Would I Buy Again:Maybe

Learning Curve:Medium

Who Is It For:Puzzle and labyrinth lovers

What I Like:The twist on old puzzles

What I Don't Like:Hard to follow the ball around

Final Statement:One of those rare and special games you can only find in iDevices

Read the Developer's Notes:
You are looking at maze cube. While it’s pretty simple to choose a correct path in a two dimensional maze, you’ll need to watch carefully to find it in a three dimensional one. The mission is to get the ball out of a glass cube as fast as possible.

Main features:
- Awesome graphics
- Convenient controls
- 3D mazes
- 8 difficulty levels
- 72 unique mazes
